Molekylär paleobiologi är ett nytt och fascinerande forskningsfält som innefattar studier av många miljoner år gamla biomolekyler och vävnader vilka bedöms kunna belysa såväl nutida som utdöda organismers biologi, ekologi och utvecklingshistoria, samt olika fossiliseringsprocesser. Jag leder en forskargrupp vid Geologiska institutionen vars syfte är att bidra med nydanande kunskap rörande bevaring och diagenes av såväl mjukvävnad (bl.a. skinn, fjädrar och inre organ) som naturligt biomineraliserade strukturer (dvs. tänder och ben). Speciellt fokus ligger på proteinöst och pigmenterat biologiskt material samt de processer som möjliggör dess förekomst i det fossila arkivet. En mängd välbevarade fossil av olika ålder och ursprung analyseras, med tyngdpunkt på mesozoiska marina reptiler, som fisködlor, mosasaurier (havslevande jätteödlor) och svanödlor. Studierna bedrivs med hjälp av analysmetoder som utgör det absolut senaste inom modern teknologi, och underlättas av nära samarbeten med en rad specialister vid bl.a. North Carolina State University (Raleigh, USA), Fujita Health University (Toyoake, Japan) och University of Göttingen (Göttingen, Tyskland). Lokala kontakter omfattar forskare vid Biologiska institutionen (Lund), MAX IV laboratoriet (Lund), RISE (Borås), Museum Salling och Molermuseet (de två sistnämnda i Danmark).
